Fast & Safe Recovery System Tool

A Fast Recovery System using the external USB HDD The newest PCClone EX is developed according to FNet s patented recovery tech & system backup. It possesses a powerful system backup function; through FNet PCClone, the whole computer systems can be backed up to USB HDD, which can be either 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch. When PC users encounter that their PCs can t boot due to virus attack, or unphysical HDD glitch, or system error etc.; they can use this USB HDD to restore their files & OS quickly.

The Most Convenient Back-up System The external USB HDD is a kind of necessary accessory nowadays. Just make system backups through PCClone EX into external USB HDD; it can restore PC systems easily without backup programs or burning of a mass of CDs. PC users could freely recover computer system by USB HDD as soon as they meet any PC problems.

The Easiest Operating Interface FNet PCClone EX hot key design produces access to USB HDD in seconds. In only one step, the system backup or recovery can be completed fast and easily. All operating functions are designed to be a diagrammatic interface for easy use. It doesn t require special skills to setup; anyone can do it.

The Fastest Backup & Recovery FNet PCCloneEX is currently the fastest recovery product. FNet R&D team designed specialized system backup & patent recovery tech to significantly shorten the backup time; and the recovery function can be directly through the external USB HDD booting and immediately goes on the recovery screen. It doesn t need a boot disk nor waiting.

Most Security for Backup & Recovery Through FNet Fast System Backup & Restore Technology, the operating system can be backed up to USB HDD by Sector-Level Backup. As soon as users want to restore; the restore screen can display right away through USB boot without boot disk or wasted time. Meanwhile, PCClone will verify whether any errors occurred before restoration that can assure full files restore. Other backup software tools on the market use the file backup method, which runs the risk of data loss.

The Highest Compatible Product Configuration differences of every computer results in lower compatibility between backup & recovery system and computers so some of computers can only access backup function. This is inconvenient for PC users who would like to use both functions. Only PCClone Ex provides a CD for USB boot; in case their computers don t support USB or USB-HDD boot. It doesn t matter! Through the USB slot and CD, the system can be restored. Higher compatible PCCloneEx is the most reliable and best choice for PC users.
